Comparison
An iCabbi alternative with a price that does not move
The same flat figure whether you do 200 jobs or 2,000. Dispatch, invoicing, accounts, driver pay, CRM and branded apps, from £59.99 a month with setup done for you.
Who this is for
The whole business on one system
Independent operators and growing fleets who want a predictable monthly cost rather than usage-based billing.
Line by line
What you need, and where it comes from
Middle column: what Cabio does, at the price stated. Right column: what to put to iCabbi in writing.
| What you need | Cabio | Worth asking iCabbi |
|---|---|---|
| Dispatch, bookings and live tracking | In every plan, including the £59.99 one | Which tier is dispatch in, and what does the next one cost? |
| How a job picks its driver | Multi-factor scoring, published in full: ETA, acceptance rate, vehicle match | Can you see why a job went to a particular driver? |
| Rank and plot queues | Draw the area, set the rules. A driver keeps their place while finishing a job nearby | Can you see the rank, and can a controller override it? |
| Taking a booking without the mouse | Keyboard-first console with a Ctrl-K command palette | How long does a new controller take to get up to speed? |
| The empty run out to a far pickup | Dead mileage priced from your base: a free radius, then charge bands. On metered fares always, on airport rates if you choose | Does a quote include the run out, or does the driver absorb it? |
| Passenger and driver apps, in your branding | Included. iOS and Android, published under your name | Are the apps licensed separately, or per driver? |
| Corporate accounts and invoicing | Built in, with scheduled chasing of overdue invoices | Is invoicing part of the platform or a chargeable module? |
| Live flight tracking on airport jobs | Built in. No separate flight-data account | Is flight data a third-party integration you pay for? |
| Customer marketing | Included: nine audience segments from real bookings, promo codes, a queue that cannot double-send | Is marketing a module you add later, and what does it cost? |
| Live chat on your own website | Included. Conversations land in the same inbox as your email | Is live chat a premium tier or a third-party widget? |
| Answering the phone when nobody is free | Agent Zero takes the booking in conversation and writes it to the board (Enterprise) | Is phone automation a menu tree, and is it billed separately? |
| Setup, integrations and moving your data | We do all of it, free. You are not live until it works | What are the setup, migration and training fees? |
| Getting your data back out | CSV or XLSX export whenever you want it | Can you export customers and booking history yourself? |
| What you pay each month | Flat from £59.99. No per-booking fee, no minimum term | Is there a per-job fee, and how long is the contract? |
Why operators move
Four things that decide it
The jobs that take your evenings, or cost you money on every airport run.
The run out gets paid for
Set your base address once and Cabio finds the coordinates itself. Every quote then adds the miles from base to pickup, after your free radius, at your bands. On airport rates too, if you switch it on. The driver stops absorbing it and you stop arguing about it.
Corporate debt chases itself
Cabio raises the invoice, sends it, and chases the overdue ones on a schedule you set, pay link attached and pacing capped. You switch it on per account and get your Sunday night back.
No API bill for airport runs
Put the flight number on the job and Cabio watches it. When the flight slips, the pickup moves with it, so nobody sits on an hour of waiting time. No separate flight-data account, no per-lookup charge.
A new controller is useful the same afternoon
One screen holds the day: drag a job onto a driver, see every car on the map, take a booking without leaving it. Nobody needs a week of training to cover a Friday night.
Dead mileage
The run out to the pickup is on the quote
Type your base address once; Cabio finds the coordinates itself. Every quote then adds the miles from base to pickup, after your free radius, at your bands.
- A free radius first, then flat or per-mile bands, your numbers
- Rolled into the price the customer sees, not argued about after
- On airport rates and saved routes too, with a switch, off by default
Switching
We move you across. You keep working.
No migration fee, and no weekend with your fleet running blind. We build it alongside what you have and you switch when you are satisfied.
- 1You send us what you have: a CSV export, a spreadsheet, or read-only access to your current system.
- 2We move it across: customers, drivers, vehicles, corporate accounts and contacts, zones and your price list.
- 3We build it alongside your live system. Nothing changes for your fleet while we do it.
- 4We check it with you against your real jobs and real prices before anything switches.
- 5You go live when you say so. Your drivers get the app and carry on working.
Do your own diligence
Questions worth asking iCabbi, and us
We do not publish other suppliers' prices or terms; they are theirs to state and they change. Put these to everyone on your shortlist and compare the written answers.
- 1Is the licence flat monthly, or does it scale with bookings or drivers?
- 2What does onboarding cost, and how long before you are taking jobs on it?
- 3Are you charged for the driver app, the passenger app, or both?
- 4Can you export your customers, drivers and booking history yourself, at any time?
- 5Is card payment processing tied to one provider, or can you use your own?
- 6What happens to your pricing at renewal?
